76. Hmmm... okay.
I don't think the rights of Jewish or Hispanic people are being questioned in this country. You may be talking about racism, but not their rights under citizenship. Do you believe that it was only white American men questioning the rights of blacks and the Japanese years ago? Do you think white women held the same beliefs?

As for the rights of white men in this country, some of them would say that theirs are under attack every day. It's a question of perspective maybe. I would say white men get bashed all the time. even if it's only in words. Maybe you're talking about RICH white men.

I would also add that Jewish, Middle Eastern and Hispanic men are equally as brain-dead regarding these issues in their respective countries. Who's swathed head to toe in fabric in Saudi Arabia? The men? What is the culture regarding women, homosexuals vis a vis men in Isreal, Mexico, etc.? Do you think white American men should be held to a higher standard? And if they are, and we are have it at least marginally better, does that count for something?
